But her friends, nightclub and the live band staff pooled together to "fix" up her outfit using plasters and massive strips of gaffer tape, so she didn't have to go home.

Hilariously the student's pals posted a Snapchat image with a picture of the taped up outfit and with the caption "It's not that bad Meabh, I swear!"

The laid back lass took to Facebook to post a message of thanks the club staff for coming to her rescue.

She wrote: "Dear all at Tiptop, A brief word of thanks to your helpful staff who came to my rescue last night!

"Unfortunately, the zip in my jumpsuit failed during the soirée, which had being going fabulously until that point.

"Doing my best to hold my modesty into the garment of clothing, we headed for the cloakroom, where the staff there did their best with the first aid kit - this entailed plasters to keep my derrière hidden and some medical strapping to keep the top of the jumpsuit in place. Many thanks ladies!!

"We proceeded to enjoy the band on the first floor, and despite my best efforts, it was blatantly obvious things weren't going well.

"After they had finished, a member of the band came to my aid and I quote ''I could see you were struggling'', before he kindly handed my friend some masking tape to help the situation. Again, extremely grateful!!"
